george rexstrew deserves awards for many things but i have to say. edwin’s bloodcurdling scream as niko gets killed deserves a whole award unto itself. like. that scream did not feel at all like a tv show scream. to a somewhat jarring degree. and i can’t express how much I respect that

Jamie: (Arkos son) Hey mom…? I’m picking up on some weird tension between you and grandma Arc…

Jessie: (Arkos daughter) Yeah! What’s her deal?

Pyrrha: *sits her kids down* Well…when your father and I first started dating, your father had just gotten over a crush on a woman your grandmother liked much better because she was a beautiful singer and from a much wealthier family…

Pyrrha: …and when your father married me, she was concerned my celebrity status would lead to problems with our family and it took her a long time to forgive me…

Pyrrha: But eventually she decided that your father’s happiness was worth it and we came to terms.

Jessie: Wait a minute…a singer from a rich family…does that mean Aunt Weiss?

Jamie: Was grandma upset because she was a Whiteknight shipper?

Jessie: And she decided that she ultimately just shipped dad with happiness?

Pyrrha: WHAT-

Pyrrha: HOW-

Pyrrha: WHO TAUGHT YOU THOSE WORDS?! 😫

After a few too many, Fives finally convinced Echo to join him on the dance floor.

If only they could see how ridiculous they actually looked.

Had a conversation with a friend about the levels of Co-dependency of each Yu-Gi-Oh Partner Duos and these are the rankings we landed on.

RoR's authors : Carefully exclude any women from the roster and reduce goddesses to special move names

Some intellectual : "Fine, I'll do it myself."

[resplendent-chungus]

I've been re-reading Worm and God the part starting with Coil bombing the mayoral debate and ending with the heroes coming for Taylor in school (or Noelle's death, if you're picky) is such an insane run of arcs. Just banger after banger after banger.

It's got everything; Taylor being blinded, Coil pretending to free Dinah, Taylor fighting her way out of Coil's trap, the Undersiders thinking she betrayed them, Coil finally biting the bullet and Dinah going home, and then boom! Noelle time, and everything that comes with it!

It's by far my favourite part of the book. I honestly think Gold Morning is the only thing that can compare to it. It's an absolutely insane decision to have the two cathartic things we've been building to since before Leviathan (Dinah being freed and Coil exiting stage right) happen in the middle of that shitstorm, and even more insane to make them work so well.

The kaizenix arc from Yoo Joonghyuks' perspective must have been wild.

He wakes up as the First Prince, on his wedding day, maybe even at the altar. It turns out his bride is Han Sooyoung, but before he can say anything, she turns the wedding into a bloodbath, killing half the royal family and usurping the throne. He escapes, gathers an army and allies and they both proceed to try and kill each other for the next two years up until and including the day Kim Dokja arrives. At some point during that period he gets captured by the Royalist forces and goes through the Han Sooyoung Sex Dungeon Experience™, but escapes.

On top of this, he specifically mentions to Kim Dokja that this scenario did happen in the alt-1863rd round (!!!) but the throne wasn't usurped and everything past that happened differently.

Now, we don't have any further details on 1863rd's kaizenix, but it makes me crazy to imagine what happened there. Because, even though 1863rd Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk were enemies, they almost definitely both went through this scenario together.

Kaizenix arc was the most bdsm yoohan got in 3rd round. But then the whole 1863rd round was toxic yoohan bdsm, so if Yoo Joonghyuk was so suprised about his own kaizenix turning in that direction even after reading 1863rd rounds version, it must be because it notably wasn't bdsm AT ALL. maybe they somehow, despite everything, manage to have a normal marriage there, that 3rd turn Yoo Joonghyuk was reading the accounts of, feeling flabbergasted, while in some dark hideout on the run from his own, supposedly more normal Han Sooyoung.

Like, what if 1863rd yoohan, dropped in kaizenix at the same time, decide to make a truce and go with the romance genre, supposedly because it's 'easiest' (but actually that's just an excuse to live out their unattainable fantasy shh). afterwards they resume their twisted toxic mindfuck games, but for a while they were just had a normal medieval fantasy romance. the tragic, dramatic irony of his worst round having his happiest marriage (mirroring the 2nd round in some ways.)

the absolute peak of comedy of 3rd turn Yoo Joonghyuk, locked up in the sex dungeon, thinking 'where did I go so wrong?' Him promptly deciding to take all this shit to the grave and to never tell anyone any of this context. Iconic
